Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Rubella  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: Rubella is usually a mild infection. However, if a mother is infected during early pregnancy, rubella can cause defects in the developing baby. The unborn baby can develop congenital rubella syndrome, which typically has a poor outcome. Defects are rare if the infection occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy.
